BuddyPress.org

Are you using a custom theme?

It’s not really possible to have multiple BuddyPress networks running from the same WordPress installation (though it might be possible some day down the road). Your users will have to be satisfied with their own groups, or they’ll have to install BuddyPress on their own WP installation.

Out of the box, BuddyPress only lets you send group invitations to people you’re friends with. It’s a spam prevention measure. If you want to bypass it, install Invite Anyone https://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/invite-anyone/.

Try renaming your wp-content/plugins directory (to something like plugins-backup) in order to get your dashboard back. Once you do, visit Dashboard > Plugins so that WP automatically deactivates your plugins. Then name plugins-backup back to plugins in order to see your plugins again. Reactivate them one at a time, making sure to activate…[Read more]

I think it’s a good idea. I’ve got a ticket open for it here: http://github.com/boonebgorges/invite-anyone/issues#issue/20

The problem is being caused by the default filters that BP applies to ‘xprofile_get_field_data’. If you put the following lines in your bp-custom.php or functions.php, it will allow you to print_r the array properly: remove_filter( 'xprofile_get_field_data', 'wp_filter_kses', 1 ); remove_filter( 'xprofile_get_field_data', 'force_balance_tags' );…[Read more]

Wow, this is awesome, @scribu. Thanks for posting about it here. I’ll give it a test this week.

Consider using a plugin like Invite Anyone wordpress.org/extend/plugins/invite-anyone to get around this restriction.

I have no idea. That Javascript stuff is worrisome. Have you looked at this? http://blog.zoiah.net/?p=14

Do you have a link to the page itself?

Cool idea. I’ll have a look.

If everyone’s going to be friends with everyone else, I’d suggest just turning the Friends component off since it won’t be doing anything interesting. Dashboard > BuddyPress > Component Setup As for groups, you have a few options. If you make all groups public, then everyone will have access to everything. And if you hide […]

Might be a bit more straightforward to do something like this:
displayed_user->id ); echo $bio; ?>

Before echoing the bio, you could try doing something like http://phpsense.com/php/php-word-splitter.html to truncate.

Good luck!

I have been trying to help you! Try Dashboard > BuddyPress > Forum Setup and then reinstall and set up a new bbPress installation. It sounds like something is wrong with your bb-config.php. If nothing else works, and you don’t yet have any content in your installation anyway, you should consider wiping your database and […]

Try toggling the ‘Enable discussion forum’ option on the group settings to see what happens. Group > Admin > Group Settings. Uncheck the discussion forum option, save settings. Then re-check, and save again.

In theory, that should kickstart the process of setting a forum that corresponds to your group.

OK, at least that narrows down the issue.

What other plugins are you using? What theme? Try creating a new group with all plugins other than BP deactivated, and using the bp-default theme, and then try to post in that new group’s forum.

Yeah, and most of the plugins would take a pretty fair amount of overhauling to bring back up to snuff with modern versions of BP.

That said, some of them would be really nice. The AJAX search/autosuggest was very slick, for instance. I heartily encourage some kind-hearted soul to upgrade the lot of them 🙂

As @rogercoathup suggested, you should open up header.php in your child theme, find the code that creates the Activity tab, and delete it.

If you don’t yet have header.php in your child theme, you’ll have to copy it here. More on BP child themes: https://codex.buddypress.org/extending-buddypress/building-a-buddypress-child-theme/
